Dear Dead Delilah opens with a deeply unsettling prologue—performance, camerawork, and editing working together to generate some seriously nauseating energy—only to relax into a slightly more conventional bourbon-soaked slasher. Agnes Moorhead is Delilah, matriarch of a declining aristocratic family in Nashville, and in preparation for her demise she leaves $600,000 of “Papa’s horse ...
6. Juli 2004 · Dear Dead Delilah (1972) Nachdem sie als junge Frau ihre Mutter mit einer Axt ermordet hat, landet Luddy Dublin (Patricia Carmichael) erst in der Anstalt und dann im Gefängnis. Zwei Jahrzehnte später entlassen, gerät sie bei ihrer erst ...
12. Feb. 2019 · Dear Dead Delilah is not a very good film.

She is an unpleasant woman surrounded by desperately avaricious, insane relatives who realize that she has hidden $600,000 somewhere on her property. The ...
28. Aug. 2018 · Dear Dead Delilah is a blast. Those who appreciate a healthy dose of melodrama with their axe murdering will absolutely get a kick out of this low budget regional oddity. Vinegar Syndrome's disc isn't stacked with extras but it presents the film in nice shape and the interview with Farris definitely adds some value to the package. All in all, a ...
